Lot 104
FLAVIUS JOSEPHUS Antiquitatum Judaicarum libri XX.
Basel: Hier[onymus]. Froben & Nicolas Episcopium, 1559. Folio, contemporary blind-tooled pigskin over wooden boards, ornamented with a portrait roll depicting Philip Melanchthon, Jan Hus, Martin Luther and Desiderius Erasmus, brass catches at the fore-edge, the binding dated 1560. 13 1/4 x 8 5/8 inches (33.5 x 22 cm); [12], 886, [34] pp., with woodcut printer's devices on title and last page. The first binding of this copy: a bit rubbed, one catch slightly lifting from the loss of a nail, but in all still a handsome example of a dated German pigskin binding. Title washed (traces of old ownership annotations still visible), minor fraying to the lower fore-margin of the first four leaves, some minor toning and spotting, but in all a good wide-margined copy, unwashed but for the title.
